Grandpa’s Homestead – Haiku Storybook

by Ben Nutall-Smith

This was Grandpa’s farm;
used to live here years ago.
No one stays here now.

Grandpa’s ginger cat
never chased the butterflies;
only rats and mice.

Just beneath the porch
Grandpa’s hat lies in the dust
mice have made their nest.

Grandpa moved to town;
visits with his grandchildren,
not so far away.

JJ LEE relates the ways and means that a writer must consider in order to make a profession ( aka a living) from the written word.

You Could Be Published Next Month!

SPOTLIGHT on the ARTS – is a 28 page publication issued monthly to a broad market. We are always looking for unique ideas and persepctives on the arts for publication. So if you have a story or idea, pen it to paper (ok – make that a digital .doc file) and send it to the ACS Team for consideration at info@artscounilofsurrey.ca…and la voila – you will be published!
